Cities and progress

Here is an odd little map that shows which cities in the US are hyperactive when it comes to patents on new products and which are sub par. If you roll your cursor over the color coded blobs the city is identified.

Just do so for North Carolina. Charlotte and Winston both underperform, but look at Durham.

Very interesting. But, in the words of Jack Skellington, "what does it mean?"also check out the unnamed port city to our south.
